I've now setup the server to look for the client and do the backups. Works fine. However I'd like to edit the clients .ssh/authorized_keys file to only allow rsync to be run from the server.
I've tried command="/usr/bin/rsync ~/" ssh-rsa [key] [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this is failing because, I assume, the server is running rsync (over ssh) and it is not running on the client. Thanks for any further help!
